Asbestos testing near Crondall
Asbestos materials often look just like materials without it. The only reliable way to know is laboratory analysis of a sample, and that is what we arrange in Crondall. Typical jobs include garage roofs before replacement and lab results for contractors before they start, including flue pipes, panels behind heaters and textured ceilings.
In towns and villages like Crondall, outbuildings and farm buildings are common testing jobs, where cement sheet roofs and cladding were often used. Nothing is removed until it’s been identified, as the right approach depends on the material.

Doing it yourself?
With a professional job, you get a record: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
If you do find something during DIY, stop: keep people away, don’t sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
What it might be made of
Roof felt and mastics
We can test felt before a flat roof is replaced.
Floor tiles and adhesive
We test tiles and adhesive separately where needed, as one may contain asbestos when the other doesn’t.
What we do and don’t cover
To be clear about the scope:
- We cannot confirm asbestos from a photo
- A result tells you what the material is, not how to remove it
- Testing does not look for anything else, so bigger work needs a survey
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal.
What we deal with
- Panels behind heaters
- Flue pipes
- Pipe lagging
- Water tanks
- Bitumen adhesive
- Soffit boards
- Floor tiles
- Roof felt
- Artex and textured ceilings
- Garage roof sheets
